UNSPSC 50483100: Chinese cabbage purees

The type of vegetable known as chinese cabbages which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50483100 Chinese cabbage purees is a Class code with nominal scope narrowly defined but recent state and local procurement activity showing little substantive alignment with the code name itself. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying broad food products and consumable supplies — proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, canned and fresh vegetables, condiments, baking supplies, seasonings, and kitchen service items — for institutional food service operations including state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, state hospitals, school nutrition programs, and senior services centers. Issuing bodies include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple recent solicitations), school districts in Georgia (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), Oregon Department of Corrections, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice procuring through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division. The mix reflects state agencies operating residential and custodial facilities, county governments managing senior and community services, and independent school districts operating nutrition programs across multiple schools.

Recent solicitation activity centers in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued four separate bids between May and October 2026 for food and consumable products serving state-supported living centers at Lufkin and El Paso and state hospitals statewide, with response dates between June and October 2026 under IFB format; the most recent, HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center canteen and campus consumables (IFB, due October 23, 2026), sought 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies. The Oregon Department of Corrections bid approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes in June 2026 (IFB, due June 19, 2026) with Oregon-fabricated goods and resident-bidder preferences applied. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, and canned vegetables to the Department of Community Services in October 2026 (IWQ, due October 19, 2026). Georgia school districts — Ben Hill County Schools and Burke County Public Schools — each issued comprehensive food bids in May and June 2026 covering hundreds of line items across multiple categories and delivery to multiple schools. The code shows recent activity but with limited demonstrated purchases of products specifically labeled as Chinese cabbage purees; the actual procurement focuses on bulk institutional food sourcing rather than specialized vegetable purees.
